water for supplying it to various household, commercial buildings through Water-Pipeline, thus forming an integral part of the Water Distribution System. Water-Tank consists of a storage tank called as Reservoir made of either Steel shells or Reinforced Cement Concrete RCC or composite material. To meet the water requirements for the exponential growing population of India we need to build more Water-tanks in a more efficient and optimal way. The construction of Watertank is a mammoth task which requires large amount of steel and concrete. The reduction of the amount of steel and concrete to be used in construction of water-tank poses a major challenge for the researchers. This study presents Design Optimization of Reinforced Concrete Circular WaterTank using Artificial Intelligence. The Water-Tank is designed using IS 3370 which is Indian Standard Code for Design of Liquid Storage Structures. The Concrete and Steel used in Design of WaterTank is taken as M30 and Fe 500 respectively. The Seismic Design of the Water-Tank is done using IS 1893 which is Indian Standard Code for Seismic Design of Structures. The Wind Loads on Water-Tank are calculated using IS 875 Part 3 which is the Indian Standard Code for Design of Structures against Wind Loads. This complete Design of Water-Tank against the Seismic and Wind Loads is coded in Python language. The Total Cost of steel and concrete used in construction of Water-Tank is calculated using the DSR (Delhi Schedule of Rates) 2021. Then we apply the Artificial Intelligence technique using a Meta-Heuristic Algorithm named Simulated Annealing to our program on Design of Water-Tank and Optimize different Parameters such as Ratio of Depth to Diameter of Water-Tank, Thickness of Top-Dome, Thickness of Water-Tank Wall, Thickness of Base-Slab, Depth of Bottom Ring Beam, Width of Bottom Ring Beam, Diameter of Column, Depth of Bracing and Width of Bracing. This reduces the overall Material Cost of Reinforced Concrete Water-Tank which is calculated and presented in the Results.
